   We are investigating various collective quantum phenomena in strongly correlated electrons such as quantum phase transitions in spin systems, exotic superconductivity, and ordering of charge, orbital or multipoles by using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) as a major experimental tool. Thanks to the hyperfine interaction between the magnetic dipole and the electric quadrupole moments of nuclei and surroundingelectrons, NMR is a powerful probe for the phase transitions and dynamics of electronic systems in solids.
